Along with its neighbor, this small bridge has become one of the most famous bridges in St. Petersburg that span over the Griboedov canal. It was opened the same year as the Bank Bridge, and the sculptures that decorate the bridge were also carved by the talented sculptor Sokolov. The similarities don’t end there \u2013 as well as the griffins, lions were raised not only for the sake of beauty. Their figures hide cast iron parts of the bridge supports, united by chains that lions hold in their mouths.<\/span><\/p>\n But if the Bank Bridge is according to a legend responsible for resolving financial problems, the Lions Bridge is usually included in walking routes due to its unique romantic atmosphere.

This can be explained by the fact that in the XVIII century the foundries and the forges were situated on the Foundry (Liteiny) prospect.

During the visit of Nicholas II to France in 1896 the crossing over the Seine in Paris was laid and it was called by the name of Alexander III. As a reciprocal gesture, in 1897 when Felix Faure, the president of France, arrived in St. Petersburg with a return visit, he took part in the ceremony of laying the Trinity Bridge. It is known that both the president and the emperor put coins into the bridge support so perhaps they are still there. However, it was decided not to name the bridge in honor of the French president, so the bridge received its name from the Trinity Cathedral, which was destroyed later in 1932.<\/span><\/p>\n The interesting fact is that, in comparison to other bridges in St. Petersburg, the middle of the Trinity Bridge is very easy to detect, as the ornament of the fence changes tilt direction at this point.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Lions Bridge is a fifteen minute walk from the Bank Bridge.
